First u. S. Covid infection. 99 days after that, we hit 1 million. 43 days after that, 2 million. 28 days after that, 3 million and today we will hit the 4 million mark after 15 days. It did not have to be this way. In the last 24 hours alone, more than 71,000 infections were reported. Nearly 1,200 americans died. Its gotten so bad in miami the mayor there is calling for people to wear masks at times at home. I would tell our residents, and this is voluntary, this is not something that we can mandate, that they should consider particularly if they have a multigenerational household that Wearing Masks indoors at time with the residents and also respecting social distance when theyre at home because again we are seeing the Largest Center of spread being our house. There is still no National Plan to get a handle on this. The president downplaying the need for testing and sharing misleading details at newly revived coronavirus briefings where he is the star and no Health Experts are presen
But his reversible seems insincere, incomplete and wre s wreaks. Hes calling masks unpatriotic. Look at this with a group of kids. Not socially distanced, not wearing masks. That is more in line with what he is doing for months and his dismissal of masks is well documented. The masks is going to be really a voluntary thing. You can do it. You dont have to do it. Im choosing not to do it. I think wearing a face mask as i greet president s, prime ministers, dictators, kings, queens, i dont know, somehow i dont see it for myself. I would wear one if i thought it was important. He sparked a political war over masks because of vanity. He didnt like the way they looked. He thought wearing one made him look weak by the way he mocked joe biden you can see that. He wanted to give off the impression that everything is fine and a president in a mask is a president admitting reality which trump has failed to do for months. Now lets look at the approach to large gatherings. He wants credit for canc
According to the nations top Infectious Disease expert dr. Anthony fauci who says at the moment, we are losing. We ultimately will get control of it. I dont really see us eradicating it. I think with a combination of Good Public Health measures, a degree of global many herd immunity and a good vaccine, which i do hope and feel cautiously optimistic that we will get, i think when you put all three of those together, i think we will get very good control of this. And dr. Fauci says hes not quite sure whether a vaccine will come this year or next and adds its impossible to know how long the vaccine would protect you against the virus. The u. S. Government investing in a big way today. Nearly 2 billion to obtain hundreds of millions of doses of a vaccine candidate. Until then, the mission, minimize the spread. A fight the president now admits likely to get worse before it gets better. Mapping out the cases now. Look at this week versus last week across the states, 26 states heading up in t
Testing in two major coronavirus hotspots decreasing and we are going to be exploring that soon. New today, the cdc chief coming out with a dire warning, take precautions or it will be the worst fall in u. S. Public health history. Dr. Redfield is calling on americans to follow four simple steps. Wear a mask, social distance, wash your hands and be smart about crowds. Following that warning came this admission that we were underprepared. Take a listen. We need to overinvest, get over prepared. I will say that in four, five decades of investment when this when the big one came, this is the greatest Public Health crisis to hit this nation in a century, that we were under prepared. We need to owe it to the children and grandchildren that this nation is never under prepared again for a Public Health crisis. Just a short time ago a former head of the cdc warning if we dont control covid it will control us. And this just in to cnn, the coronavirus is taking a toll on the Mental Health of ame
5 a. M. In new york. Just nine weeks to the election. In just a few hours air force ones will be wheels up to kenosha, wisconsin. The president is looking to shore up support in a critical swing state but local officials are fearing he wont bring healing to a community in need of it. His record is quite welldocumented and this time is no different as he defends right wing agitators and casts aside those protesting against Police Brutality as, quote, left wing mobs. Asked if he would condemn the actions of the white teen who shot and killed two people during protests in kenosha last week, the president did just the opposite. Condemn the actions of vig vigilantes like kyle rittenhouse. Were looking at all of that. That was an interesting situation. You saw the same type as i saw. He was trying to get away from them. Then he fell. Then they very violently attacked him. Its something were looking at and its under investigation. But i guess he was in very big trouble. He would have been he
